Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured heating and ventilation improvement works at Four Lanes Infant School. The requirement covered replacing two wall-mounted radiators, removing one radiator and stripping out low-temperature hot-water pipework back to the next connection. It also included installing new thermostatic radiator valves and lockshield valves, together with minor making-good works. This is a mechanical engineering installation project, delivered in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight area. The work is part of the council’s estate-maintenance activity and is relevant to heating, plumbing, mechanical building-services and facilities-maintenance contractors able to carry out radiator modifications and associated pipework alterations in an occupied or education-sector building environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to SIMER Environmental Services Limited. Hampshire County Council used a selective, non-competitive award under a framework for a below-threshold requirement. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 17 to 21 August 2026. Its value is £4,002 excluding VAT, or £4,803 including VAT. One completed lot covered the full requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded outcome provides a clear example of the council’s route for procuring small mechanical works: a framework-based award rather than an open competition. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

For a supplier targeting similar Hampshire County Council work, this award indicates demand for small, tightly scoped mechanical building-services projects in schools. A credible competitor would need practical capability in radiator replacement and removal, low-temperature hot-water pipework alterations, thermostatic and lockshield valve installation, and minor making-good. Experience coordinating short-duration works in an education setting would be commercially relevant, particularly where access, safety, disruption and clean handover must be managed carefully. The procurement route also matters: the council used a framework-based, selective award for a below-threshold requirement, so businesses seeking comparable work would benefit from framework access and the ability to respond efficiently to small jobs. The incumbent supplier’s SME status shows that this scale can suit focused specialist contractors.
